    Wait a minute, NYC didn’t even make the list for drunkest cities. Seattlites do drink a lot, not as much as in Milwaukee, but they do drink.

    Dean Vernon Wormer: Greg, what is the worst bank in this city?
    Greg Marmalard: Well that would be hard to say, sir. They’re each outstanding in their own way.
    Dean Vernon Wormer: Cut the horseshit, son. I’ve got their disciplinary files right here. Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the varsity swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode.
    Greg Marmalard: You’re talking about B of A, sir.
    Dean Vernon Wormer: Of course I’m talking about B of A, you TWERP!
